The action scenes were the best part, but the cynic in me couldn't help but notice that they were sometimes big, boomy and boring - basically Michael Bay-esque. You know, an action style that does a lot and nothing simultaneously.


Wait. With all the insults Micheal Bay gets, the guy doesn't make box office flops. grin

Sony planning on releasing Bad Boys For Life come Jan 17, 2020... Another ticking box office bomb waiting to go off & if this happens, this will be the last straw that'll break the camel's back as regards Will Smith's acting career. Am really feeling for the dude, he's been having box office flops back to back of late.
Well, since Sony is involved here, i just hope my prediction is flawed.

Sony should give the movie more hype. The last two Bad Boy movies weren't flops (to the best of my knowledge) so I see no reason why this one should be.

The mothafucka knows his audience, I'll give him that. Explosions, car chases and scantily-clad women have been his trusted allies for years. He's smart enough to stay within the boundaries of his comfort zone, unlike pretentious niggas like Spielberg and co. He knows he's a very limited director, and doesn't pretend to be otherwise. grin

I really don't think he will. Young adults love his flicks like mad. If there is a demand for a product, it will always sell.

Smith reminds me of a guy that lives in the past. Nigga should wake up, and reinvent his ailing career. He's still young enough.

Well that's true though, even teenagers. I guess it all boils down to demand just like you hinted. The demand for blockbuster flicks like what Bay offers is never going to decline so long as there are teenagers & young adults who fancy such.

So long as they stick to their formula, i don't see movies in the Transformers franchise ever flopping at the box office.

That's why I feel that Tyler Perry and Michael Bay can never grow. Directors that make films for only profit and profit alone.

There is no art to their work. Just a monotonous rinse and repeat of a cliche filled movie formula

Critics will never like Michael Bay, and cinefiles will mostly thump their noses at him, but he will always be a synonym for explosions in action films. I don't know about you, but to me, that's the stuff of legend. You know you've arrived when people use your name as a noun for a cliched movie trope.

I'm not a fan of the guy, but I respect him. He's good at what he does, perhaps, the best at what he does.

Watching the pilot of another AppleTV's original, For All Mankind, right now, and it's really good. Apple got one lineup right, at least.

That being said, I totally concur with you. Apple ventured into the streaming business too soon. Do you know that there is no AppleTV app on Android TV atm? Considering the fact that well over 70% of all smart TVs are powered by android OS, that's a very dumb business idea. I don't think I'll be exaggerating if I say AppleTV may very well be DOA at this point. You can't be the next Netflix if you are not available on the world's best entertainment platform.

Erm erm erm

Geek interrupt. Apologies.

Most smart TVs are powered by the vendors proprietary os which they had at some point planned to deploy on phones

Lg has webos
Hisense has Vidaa
Samsung has risen
HUAWEI if I recall has some TVs in China

The only manufacturers I can say off the top of my head are Sony and tcl.

I had wanted an android tv so I could play my android game library on a big screen, so I did some research back then. Las las , my best bet would have been an nvidia shield

If I recall, the only apple app you will see on the android AppStore is the migration app.

Apple will have to make apps not just for android, but for amazon, roku, plex, kodi, and all the TVs our there. Netflix and amazon have already done this.

On a serious note, it's a smart strategy. Waterboard the Oscars in every direction, and wait for something to shake lose. #Smart

Cc; abduleez1

Yea, true bro. Perfect strategy, must try to clinch at least one or two Oscars. Keeping their options very wide and distributed.

It was the pic I was trying to upload all morning.
Thanks.

It'd be hilarious if Joker ends up getting nominated in the least sexy categories and winning none - I've seen this happen before. The Oscars is more of a popularity context nowadays, than a ceremony of merit, albeit the numero uno of Award ceremonies.

Yep, the Oscars credibility has dropped lately.

About that Steven Spielberg, its been long I heard of his name prominently. Is he involved in any recent big project, I haven't heard much of him lately.

Last I heard of him was his involvement in The BFG.

Me too. I think he's in semi-retirement mode, and who can blame him. Dude's 72 years. He's been in the movie scene like forever.

I may have exaggerated the numbers a bit, but Android is the most prevalent OS in Smart TV platforms. Basically, there are more Smart TV brands utilizing Android TV as their framework platform as opposed to Roku, Tizen, Vewd, et al.

PS: Hisense uses Android TV and Roku, while Samsung uses tizen, not risen.

Robin Hood (2018) 4/10

I don't know who and who were bored with nothing to do and decided to make this film. Plot was weaker than boiled vegetables. None of the actors could be bothered to save the movie. Not even Jamie Foxx.

The actions scenes were OK but forgettable. What I assume must have been their feeble attempts at comedy were dead on arrival.
The only reason I'm giving this movie a 4 is because it somehow managed not to leave a bitter taste in my mouth. Basically, it was as bad as I expected it to be and not worse.

Polar 5/10

Another forgettable movie. Mads Mikkelsen probably had free time and decided he could use the extra cash. You need to completely shut down your brain to give this movie a pass. Plot was stupid. The action scenes were over the top and yet forgettable, all the same. None of the characters were engaging, at all. And the nudity was just distasteful and unnecessary. Desperately trying to be edgy.
Wonder how some dumbos had the idiotic thought of comparing this to John Wick. No atom of resemblance at all.

Meanwhile, is Katheryn Winnick cosplaying as Snow White here? Cos what burst into my mind the minute I saw her was
Hair as black as ebony
Lips as red as blood
Skin as white as snow
grin grin

A fail grade is a fail grade though, isn't it? Doesn't matter if it's 4, 3, 2 or 1. I say this because I don't grade beyond 4. Anything south of 5 is insignificant to me. 4 to me represents grades 1-4 - the failure grades.

My take away from the Dora movie
